Mondo Duplantis will return to the scene of his Diamond League record of 6.07m in Lausanne last year when he competes at Athletissima on August 26th.<\/p>\n
Duplantis beat world champion Sam Kendricks on Lausanne’s Place de l’Europe at last year’s Wanda Diamond League exhibition event, with a performance which proved to be only a warm up for his world-beating exploits in Rome a few weeks later. In the Italian capital, he broke his own record by posting the highest outdoor jump in history with 6.15m. <\/p>\n
The Swede returns to Lausanne this year, where he will once again be jumping inside the stadium, with the men’s high jump taking place as a city event this year.<\/p>\n
The event will star three-time Diamond Trophy winner Mutaz Essa Barshim, who also holds the second highest mark of all time with his 2.43m at the Diamond League Final in Brussels in 2014. <\/p>\n
There will also be stardust on the track, as Jakob Ingebrigtsen looks to attack Mohamed Mourhit’s European record in the 3000m. The young Norwegian has already made a brilliant start to this year’s Wanda Diamond League series, with a victory in the 1500m at the season opener in Gateshead and a European record in the 5000m in Florence. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
